The article focused on three main assignments:

Exploring Ocean-Observing Systems -
This activity focuses on the uses of observatory systems and what information can be obtained from them

Local Weather and The Ocean -
Students learned about how the ocean affects air temperature. The explore the ideas of heat capacity and ocean circulation.

Where Do the Organisms Live? -
Students determine location of marine animals based on ocean temperature.

Reaction:
So far I like where this article is headed. I have a biology test tomorrow that im studying for. Will post more when I get more time.
